Byrrill Creek Walking Track

Natural Attractions

Byrrill Creek Walking Track

This short walk starts at Cutters Camp campground’s picnic area and passes through sub-tropical rainforest with an impressive stand of giant, ancient fig trees, all the way down to the peaceful and scenic Byrrill Creek. Along the way, you’ll walk through three very different forest types, with a real change between each one. As you pass under the rainforest with its large fig trees, rainforest canopy, bangalow palms, and eucalypts, listen to the water gently trickling in the creek and the sounds of the diverse birds and insects that make their home here. The walk is especially lovely and colourful in spring when the breeding plumage of many birds change colour and the walk is thick with the scent of the nectar from flowering trees and shrubs. All year round, you can spot lace monitors and brush turkeys on the tracks. In spring and summer, keep an eye out for wrens at the creek’s edge and possibly even eastern yellow robins, pademelons, noisy pitas, logrunners, a variety of honeyeaters, doves, pigeons, and skinks.

C. M. Thorpe Reserve

This peaceful lake with a beach is a local secret. Situated minutes from the beach and the heart of Victor Harbor. The lake with sandy shore is a sheltered place for the kids to swim. Across the road from a deli, so grab a coffee and some snacks. Find a picnic table in the shade and settle in for a peaceful moment. Loved by paddle boarders and those with kayaks and canoes. If you are lucky, you may even catch the Dragon Boat Racing Club out on the water. Toilets and an outside shower are handy after building all those sandcastles. What a beautiful place to pass a couple of hours.

Cabbage Tree Island Connections

Welcoming visitors to the Ballina Shire Council building, this digital mural by the Saltwater Women Art Group depicts a powerful visual story of connection, culture, and Country. The artwork represents the group's part of the Bundjalung Nation and their deep ties to Ballina, Cabbage Tree Island, and the surrounding areas. Flowing across the mural is the waterway, the lifeblood of the land and a traditional source of food and community connection. Sugar cane recalls the "stripping cane days" on the island and its lasting presence in the landscape. Pippis and pig face flowers — both traditional food sources — honour the abundance of the region and the enduring relationship between people and Country. This meaningful work was inspired by the late Aunty Kath Rhodes, a respected Elder whose legacy continues to guide and connect the community. Formed in 2004, the Saltwater Women Art Group was named by respected Bundjalung Elder Gehi Yubay Dubay (Saltwater Women). Many grew up on Cabbage Tree Island, and their collaborative works reflect traditional movements of their ancestors and the deep cultural knowledge tied to the land and sea of the Northern Rivers.
